Claudy C.

This is based in togo order. I came here for the first time and it was the server was nice and took my order fast. There are sears outside and a few seats inside. I ordered TOFU VEGETABLE SOUP which was pretty good. And I ordered PAD THAI. This was ok. I think it's missing some flavor. The first couple of bites it tastes ok but lost the flavoring after. This why I have a 4 star.

Green Curry + Fresh Roll + Tofu Satay
Amie H.

Supreme vegan Thai food spot with delicious flavor and adorable patio seating in beautiful Santa Monica. Super friendly staff and great pricing with a generously portioned lunch special available for just $15! Can't wait to return!

Take out...chow mein, pad Thai, tofu spring rolls
Maggie C.

This is what we call bang for your buck. I ordered pad Thai, chow mein, and tofu spring rolls and the bag was like 6 pounds. HUGE portion sizes for such decent pricing you can't find anywhere else. The flavor of the Pad Thai was a bit lacking. I could tell it was Pad Thai but the flavor could be much stronger. Decent chewiness to the rice noodles. They are a bit wider than the typical noodles I've had with pad thai. The tofu spring rolls were like burritos. They were okay. Loosely wrapped. Mostly vegetables and a bit of soft tofu. The sauce is coconut peanut, I believe. Not sure if I would get it again despite the solid portion. Note for the online ordering system...I ordered for the first time online using Beyond Menu which was what I was linked to via google. I arrived when my order was to be ready and the lady was super confused and proceeded to scroll up on my phone to see what platform I used. She then checked her phone and went "ah! Beyond menu!" and may have pretended to check with the kitchen and said it wasn't ready yet. It didn't seem like they even looked at that online ordering system. So I had to wait an additional 10-15 minutes since they didn't even see the online order. So be wary if you order online. I would probably call in the future instead. Overall, this is a solid place for huge portions and budget pricing. Not the best tasting and flavorful food, but good enough and you truly can't beat the price/portion ratio.

Spicy Fried Rice
Miriam P.

The flavor!!!! My goodness it was perfect everything was perfect. The service was great the food came out so quick. The portion sizes are amazing it's more than enough to share! We sat outside and it was a lovely day. All around great honestly I can't wait to go back

Pad Thai Noodle
Holly K.

I ordered the Pad Thai and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I appreciated all the color from the toppings when it was served, but was disappointed that that was really all the toppings/mix ins (tofu, carrot, cabbage, etc)- it was mainly just tons of noodles. The flavor was present, but lacking. I'd still go back and try another dish since I know this place is well liked, but I wouldn't get the Pad Thai again. Small inside, few outdoor seating options, good price for the quantity of food.

Soy Sauce Noodle (Pad See Ew)
Kayla M.

Came here Sunday ready to eat after the Pikmin X Hot Girl Walk and was very taken aback! The pad see ew was AMAZING and the portions are so generous. Couldn't believe I could find this in Santa Monica. I'm going to be making the trek down here more often. It does get quite a bit warm inside the restaurant, but they do have a back portion with great seating to sit down and help cool yourself off.

Inside
Serene A.

I've been coming here for well over 10 years and I am finally leaving a review because I finally took a picture of all the yummy food we ate. Whenever we come we always get papaya salad and green curry, must gets!!! and the other dishes we always change around, I do enjoy their pad Thai but I love their spicy mint noodle more! And pineapple friend rice is great. Everything is flavorful and they give you a lot of food. You order at the window and then get a buzzer to pick up your food at the side door when it's ready. their are plenty of tables to sit at in the space and they have a lot of trinkets and stuff for sale around the place.

Vegetable Tofu Fried Rice, Steamed Soy Beef, Steamed Soy Chicken, Thai Iced Tea
Amanda D.

Finally took the time to grab dinner from here I got the Vegetable Tofu Fried Rice with added chicken tofu and beef tofu and I got to say it was worth the short wait. The rice was very fluffy and moist, loved the vegatables in there, the chicken was buttery, soft like a little pillow, and the beef had this yummy sweet nutmegy flavor. Cute little restaurant and couple two person tables and a bigger dining table further in. The also have outside seating. Great prices and the Thai tea was very good also, definitely got to come back to try their Spicy Fried Rice.

Pad Thai Noodle
Zeyma M.

I took my food to go, so I can't say much about the ambiance rather than the place being pretty small/having limited seating and you having to come and get your food once it's ready (you don't have a server bring it to you). Wait time - I went on a Thursday and ordered ahead through grubhub, and still had to wait around 40 minutes to get my food (I didn't have a big order either). I have a feeling they forgot and didn't start working on it until I got their attention and asked about my order. Pad Thai - pretty good, but not outstanding, nothing out of the ordinary. If I went back, I'd probably get something else. Fried Dumplings - by itself, they are pretty bland, but the sauce definitely brings in more flavor. I liked the variety of veggies and vegan meat in filling too.

Delicious and an easy accessible walk with seating. Quick to make.
Kristen B.

Delicious! A quick and accessible walk. Very fast and okay outdoor seating. Open area with road parking.

Fay H.

Absolutely delicious vegan Thai fare! I LOVED the soy chicken larb, it was perfectly balanced with the citrus, mint and cilantro. That is a must try if you're in Santa Monica

The fresh spring rolls could use some work as they didn't have much veggies or crunch other than lettuce. The Tom Yum soup wasn't bad but we've had better. It was kind of basic in flavor and veggies compared to others ones we've had. The panang chicken wasn't on the actual menu but they did have it and it was pretty good, just wish there was more chicken. Overall, good service and food but probably wouldn't go back just because we could pay the same price but somewhere nicer and possibly with better flavors. We ordered: Tom Yum Soup Hotpot with Shrimp $18 -- 3.5/5 Shrimp Spring Rolls to-go $16 for 2 -- 2.5/5 Panang Chicken with white rice $19 ? 4/5

I feel like the food and everything is the same, but found parking much easier. what we got: roti paratha (10/10 yums): MUST GETTT. i love how buttery and flaky everything is. I also LOVEEE the sauce it comes with. I always keep the sauce and dip other things in it later! they also have a vegetarian version I believe (we got it at the other location before) The #8 Nasi Bungkus (10/10 yums): I feel like some people can get intimidated by this dish because of the sheer variety in the dish, but everything mashes together very well. the chicken is quite tender and goes very well with the seasoned rice. Char kway teow (10/10 yums): my go-to dish. it has more of a wok flavor and i love the combination of the fish balls with the noodles.

The food is Indonesian/ southeast asian style. I have to say there is some delicious food that they are making here. Came here with a party of five and had dinner right in front of the doorway. There is a pretty bar and also a lot of small chairs and tables for couples and dates. The inside is adorable and the food is good. I really enjoyed their noodle dishes and also this Bananna leaf wrap with rice, curry, and tasty chicken. Get the papaya salad it is also nice and refreshing! If you have a group you could order multiple dishes and share with everyone like family style. So if you want to try some good food with bold flavor this is a cool spot to check out! It does get busy.

First visit to Emporium Thai and I already know this won't be my last…read more I walked in solo with a tight window between shows, which meant I had to be strategic. No leftovers, no over-ordering... a true test of discipline at a place like this. Started with a Thai iced tea that hit exactly right. Balanced, not overly sweet, and generously poured. Service throughout the meal was excellent. Attentive without hovering, and the pacing was spot on. I never felt rushed, which is rare when you're clearly on a clock. For my appetizer, I went with the Phuket wings. As someone who takes wings seriously, I can say these stood out. Crispy, flavorful, and coated in a Southern Thai curry sauce I hadn't experienced before. Rich, slightly sweet, with a depth that kept me going back for "just one more." For the main, I took the server's recommendation and ordered the Thai beef salad to balance things out. Smart call. The dressing leaned creamier than what I usually expect, but it worked. Bright, flavorful, and layered. I'll be honest, I couldn't quite finish it, but the beef didn't stand a chance. Every last bite. Dessert sealed the deal. The mango sticky rice, now famously known as the Cardi B Mango Sticky Rice, lived up to the hype. Perfectly ripe mango, warm sticky rice, and that coconut sauce tying it all together. Simple, classic, and done right. The space itself tells a story. Walls lined with photos of the owner alongside celebrities from all over. But what stood out more than the photos was the man himself. He made his way around the room, greeting guests, checking in, bringing real warmth to the experience. No hierarchy, no pretense. Everyone gets treated like they belong. Twenty-six years in and I'm just now discovering this place? Better late than never. Next time, I'm bringing a group and ordering everything family style. That's the move.

The curries were good, and the pad thai was sweeter than my personal preference. I enjoyed the chicken dishes more than the beef, which was a bit chewy. There is only street parking.

Simple restaurant setup with two quick kiosk to key in order plus a cashier supporting the overflow of customers.

So so good, if you know how to make this or have had a good one, you know that it's all in the rice and sauce. The super tender chicken was a cherry on top! My 3 years old son demolished this! - 2 Types of Roti: 1) Banana Roti Mataba from Southern Thailand! Reminded me of home and growing up in the South of Thailand! 2.)

Even the crab rangoons are good here, and you can tell they're made in-house instead of coming from a freezer. Another big plus is that you can get legit crazy spice.
